I also made a cream cheese mixture (I think posted earlier or on the CO sticky) with just cream cheese, CO & vanilla Davinci's. Both are setting up in the fridge. But I got to wondering...would the erythritol mix well with the cream cheese and CO mixture, and if so, would it set up like a cream cheese/vanilla type fudge?

Put the coconut oil and cream cheese in a glass mixing bowl and microwave the two until the coconut oil is almost completely melted. (approx 30 to 40 sec.on high)
Removed the bowl and wisk the two together for about 1 min....noting that the oil and cream cheese are separated.
Return the bowl to the microwave and nuke for an additional 30 to 40 sec on high then remove it and wisk in the powdered erythritol until the mixture is smooth and creamy with no separation.
Then wisk in the splenda quick pack, vanilla, and flavor oil until well combined.

Put the coconut oil in a glass mixing bowl and microwave until the coconut oil is almost completely melted. (approx 30 to 40 sec.on high)
In a mini prep food processer grind strawberries and erythritol into a powder.
Add the melted coconut oil, sweetzfree, flavor oil to the powder and process until very smooth.
Pour into an 8 x 8 foil lined pan and put in freezer to set.

I know individual results may vary. . .but this seems just too good to be true!!

BTW, thanks, Kevinpa, for your lovely picts and experiments. I WANT to try these, but I need some anecdotal advise!!!! And success stories!!!!

I'm struggling here!

I don't know the answer to this. In my case I can say that I have been maintaining a plus or minus 5 lbs for almost a year now using a generally low carb intake and a rigorous exercise routine. I have been eating 4 to 6 pieces of this coconut bark per day over the life of this thread and have seen no change in my normal results.

one other thing can I use fresh strawberries instead of dehydrated ones.

I used a 1/4 chopped fresh strawberries purred with the coconut oil(you may have to re-melt the coconut oil part of the way and pour back into the mixture so it will mix. I also put in 10 drops sweetzfree. It is setting up great. It tastes pretty good. Will let know how final results are.

I don't see anything in either of those articles that says its not recommended to use coconut oil if you have high triglycerides, but I remember reading it somewhere.

Has anyone,here, who has high triclycerides used coconut oil? If so, can you tell me if you seen any change in your triglycerides after using it? I just wante to be as sure as I can before I decide if I want to try this or not.

Thanks for great recipes. I made the cream cheese version yesterday. Used some raspberry lorans and topped them with some slivered almonds. They're incredible

Didn't you do a peanut buttercoconut oil fudge at some point? Perhaps in a different thread? I'm not so much of a chocolate person, but Peanut Butter fudge, now that's right up my alley!!!

How do you measure your coconut oil. Do you melt it first then measure out what you need or do you just measure it out like you would Crisco? Just curious.

TIA

Thanks, Kevin, that pie looks wonderful (my husband loves coconut, so he will be thrilled). My mimic cream should be here by Friday, and I can't wait to try this. I got both the sweetened and unsweetened (since the sweetened uses erythritol). Might use the sweetened version for some ice cream.

I tried the unsweetened kind (because it was already opened) in my coffee and sweetened it the way I always do. It had a distinct nutty taste but had what I thought was the hint of an edge on it like it was not sweet enough. With some cacao though I bet it would be the bomb.

Thank you KevinPa. Always ther to help me. Don't mean to thread jack, but Kevin, do you think I could use your flour blend with out the 4000 and just the 8000? Thank you. Julie

I am assuming you meant 5000, but to be totally honest with you I haven't a clue what the results of making something with a mix like that. The 5000 in the mix is the one thing there is no sub for that I know of and I am betting you would not like the results. Again that is a guess because I never tried it.
